Comet McNaught C/2009 K5

Here is a doublet sketch of the comet. The right side is from 6/6. Being left-handed, I sketched on the right and hoped to catch it again. On 6/10 we grabbed it in Luray VA during a mini-star party with about 16 people. Both sketches were done by observing high resolution screen outputs from MallinCAM astro-video cameras mounted in place of EPs. Very nice object to chase.

Great work Roland!
Thanks for sharing! 8)

Nice sketch, Roland.
I finally got a look at the comet last Thursday, from the North Rim of the Canyon, at the GCSP.
Spotted it with 8x56 bino's and confirmed it in my TV Genesis, but clouds
moved over it before I could get the 14.5" Starmaster on it.
Got my first look at Jupiter for the year the same night.
Quite strange looking with only one EB. 8O
